Poverty Trap Quotes

“Education is the way out of the poverty trap. It shouldn't be the poverty trap itself and make those trying to better themselves incur massive student debt.”
― Stewart Stafford

“Prisons by Stewart Stafford

There are prisons of bars and jailers,
There are dungeons of the mind,
And of family blackmailers.

Some sit manacled in a marriage cell,
Thunderous isolation next door,
All aflame in loveless hell.

Misery, with no parole in poverty's trap,
While in privileged ivory towers nearby,
Elite confinement in luxury's lap.

Inmates break free to a new golden age,
Other jailbirds await merciful luck,
Destined never to escape the cage.
